Leapbit d.o.o.

History and Founding

Leapbit d.o.o. was established in 2018 in Zagreb, Croatia, by a team with deep domain expertise in sports betting. The founding members, including Božo Kekez and Dario Filkovic, previously worked at Superbet, a leading Romanian bookmaker, giving them direct insight into the needs of established operators. From the outset, the company focused on developing a comprehensive, in-house software suite for both retail and online sports betting. Its early products included a retail sportsbook solution with point-of-sale and terminal-based betting, an online sportsbook with live betting and risk management, virtual horse racing simulations, and lottery games. The company quickly gained a reputation for bespoke software development, particularly for Tier 1 bookmakers targeting the regulated markets of Central and Eastern Europe.

Business Model and Products

Leapbit’s business model centered on providing B2B sports betting software to operators, with a strong emphasis on retail solutions. The retail sportsbook platform featured bet management, odds calculation, and cashier functions for land-based venues. The online sportsbook offered pre-match and live betting markets, alongside sophisticated risk management tools. Virtual horse racing provided computer-generated simulations with realistic graphics and random outcomes, enabling continuous betting opportunities. Lottery games included number draws and instant win products for both retail and online channels. The company also offered custom development services, tailoring its technology to meet specific regulatory and operational requirements of large bookmakers.

Acquisition by EveryMatrix

In early 2022, EveryMatrix announced the acquisition of Leapbit to strengthen its OddsMatrix sports betting product. The deal was finalized in the first half of 2022. The integration merged Leapbit’s retail-focused software into OddsMatrix, creating a true omnichannel solution capable of supporting both online and retail operations in regulated markets. Leapbit’s development team remained in Zagreb, and its leadership oversaw the transition. The company now operates as EveryMatrix Zagreb, with its technology forming a key component of EveryMatrix’s sports betting offering. The acquisition allowed OddsMatrix to expand into the retail segment with a mature, feature-rich platform, enhancing its competitiveness in Central and Eastern Europe and beyond.

Market Position and Current Status

Since the acquisition, Leapbit’s products continue to be developed and supported from its original base in Zagreb. The company’s legacy solutions remain available to operators seeking both online and retail betting technology. EveryMatrix has integrated Leapbit’s technology into its broader iGaming ecosystem, providing clients with a seamless omnichannel experience. The company’s focus on regulated markets and its retail expertise positions it well within the growing demand for land-based betting solutions combined with digital platforms. While headcount is not publicly available, the development team remains active, and the company’s products are still marketed to Tier 1 operators.
